I bought a bird feeder. I hung It on my back porch and filled It with seed. What a beauty of A bird feeder it was, as I filled it
lovingly with seed. Within a Week we had hundreds of birds Taking advantage of the Continuous flow of free and Easily accessible food.
But then the birds started Building nests in the boards Of the patio, above the table, And next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was Everywhere: on the patio tile, The chairs, the table .. Everywhere!
Then some of the birds Turned mean. They would Dive bomb me and try to Peck me even though I had Fed them out of my own Pocket.
And others birds were Boisterous and loud. They Sat on the feeder and Squawked and screamed at All hours of the day and night And demanded that I fill it When it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even Sit on my own back porch Anymore. So I took down the Bird feeder and in three days The birds were gone. I cleaned Up their mess and took down The many nests they had built All over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like It used to be .... Quiet, serene.... And no one demanding their Rights to a free meal.
Now let's see. Our government gives out Free food, subsidized housing, Free medical care and free Education, and allows anyone Born here to be an automatic Citizen.
Then the illegal's came by the Tens of thousands. Suddenly Our taxes went up to pay for Free services; small apartments Are housing 5 families; you Have to wait 6 hours to be seen By an emergency room doctor; Your child's second grade class is Behind other schools because Over half the class doesn't speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a Bilingual box; I have to 'press one ' to hear my bank Talk to me in English, and People waving flags other Than 'Old Glory' are Squawking and screaming In the streets, demanding More rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government To take down the bird feeder.
If you agree, pass it on; if not, Just continue cleaning up the poop .

Well done!
Heh
The squirrels 🐿️🐿️🐿️, the raccoons 🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝 (5 one time) and the possum all love the bird 🐦 feeder.
But they never leave a mess except when they tip the bird feeder over.
They like white bread 🍞, but it has to not be toasted.
I try to tear up about 3 slices of bread 🍞 for my nighttime guests.
😁😜
Excellent metaphor.
“Bird” feeders...
My favorite is the one with the cage. You know, that “ingenious” frame to deter squirrels.
They just love it because it comes with its own seating booth. Super comfy and convenient, especially for the expectant moms.
Then when the day comes that they try and try, but can’t fit their tummies through the cage, we know that the little ones will be arriving soon.
LOL, that feeder has become a great source of entertainment. Worth every penny!
Good one.
Why all the Unnecessary capitalization?
Maxine...... did you ever take the trouble to enlighten your self as to which birds were which.
Squirrels like nuts in the shell, racoons like cat food.

For my last birthday I got a West Virginia entertainment center...a birdfeeder and a pellet gun.

Great analogy!
My wife has a bird phobia. No bird feeders here, unfortunately.
